Introduction

This document explains the content and wiring details of the Denali XCR Cable Kit (DEN-CAB). The kit is provided as a tool to speed up the connection between Denali XCR and the user's application.

It is composed of the following components:

  • 1 x Power supply cable - 300 mm (C-DEN-PSU)
  • 1 x Input / Output cable - 250 mm (C-DEN-IO)
  • 1 x EtherCAT Communication and Safety cable - 1 m (C-DEN-ECAT)
  • 1 x Feedback cable - 250 mm (C-DEN-FEED)
  • 1 x Motor power cable - 300 mm  (C-DEN-CO)
  • 10 x Extra Wires for Feedback & Input / Outputs - 250 mm (C-PC-EXTRA)


Power Supply Cable 

The Power supply cable is provided with a length of 300 m. It consists of a set of 2 x 28 AWG cables with a 2pin Molex Pico-lock connector on one side and flying leads on the other. Molex Pico-lock connector should be plugged directly into the XCR P1 connector.

Input / Output Cable

The Input / Output cable is provided with a length of 250 m. It consists of a set of 7 x 28 AWG cables with a 20-pin Molex Pico-clasp connector on one side and flying leads on the other. Molex Pico-clasp connector should be plugged directly into the XCR P2 connector. 

The cables are tied by means of spiral wraps in 3 different groups to simplify their identification:

  • Digital Incremental Encoder 
  • Digital Halls
  • Absolute Encoder

The pinout of the Feedback cable is as follows:
